Why Support SCOTT SCHOEFFEL and NORM DENTON for Dana Point City Council

Voting for Scott Schoeffel and Norm Denton is both an urgent and important need in Dana Point. Please do not be fooled into thinking the differences are minor or that the choices don’t matter much to the future of Dana Point.

There are two sets of candidates, and they are exceedingly different.

Schoeffel and Denton are reasonable, experienced, and fair-minded representatives of our entire community. The two other candidates for city council represent a radical right-wing faction with the goal of highjacking the functional (and currently effective) process of running Dana Point.

After faithfully and responsibly serving Dana Point as members of the Republican party for so many years, Schoeffel and Denton are being attacked now by an extremist outside political faction for not pledging their future votes to that faction and its short-sighted ideologies that have no place in local governance. Neither Schoeffel nor Denton is beholden to an outside political machine. Both of the other two candidates received the full support of that extremist faction.

Both Schoeffel and Denton thrive on an open discussion of all ideas and practical policies important to our local community. The other two candidates subjugate all ideas and issues to extremist ideologies, and twist practical local policies into dysfunctional, irrelevant moral issues. I say this from first-hand experience.

Since 1997, Scott Schoeffel and Norm Denton have served the Dana Point community as members of either the Planning Commission or the City Council. That is a combined 30 years of experience in Dana Point government. The other two candidates have barely any relevant experience. Experience matters.

These two sets of candidates are exceedingly different. The choice is very clear: the other candidates are about radical ideologies and obstructionism, while Schoeffel and Denton are about progress, balance and good, measured governance.
